Funko Pop! Movies super-stylized Alien vinyl figure and Star Wars Clone Wars Darth Maul bust bank!

I got these two lovelies in February and do you know what's special about 5th of February?  Well, it's the birthday of the Swiss artist and creator of the Alien (aka Xenomorph) monster H.R. Giger (d. 12 May 2014), coincidentally, this date also happens to be my birthday. So, I'm more than happy to add this chibi Xeno into my still very scarce Alien collection.

I'm not gonna lie. I did think twice before I bought this, but my mind was weak and so here we are. Initially I thought that there was something very disturbing about this bust, mainly the fact that Maul is actually smiling or alternatively *le evil grin* but I have gotten used to it now. I love the details put in the gauntlets on his forearms. However..... <entering nitpicking mode> ..... there are some spots of white paint on the lower lip and the tattoos aren't that well painted on if you look closely.

It just so happened that I bought these two from the same place, so they were shipped in the same box. However, the way these things were packed left something to be desired for. The Maul bust was loose and didn't come with any original packaging (or any kind of protection for that matter). So the bust was basically shoved down on top of the Alien figure's box, slightly damaging it. So its original box got a bit crumbled, but the Alien figure itself is fine, no big deal. Same thing can't unfortunately be said of our red, horn headed friend here. I can only imagine that the horn's have been rubbing against the box for the whole postal trip, resulting some paint being scraped off of a few horns. Which is a little disappointing to say the least. I mean for Pete's sake, all you needed to prevent this was a small piece of bubble wrap if you didn't have enough to cover the whole damn thing! Ò ‸ Ó

And what's up with this post's title? Well, that was just something that was written on the bottom of the Alien's box. It sounds absurd and a little over exaggerated in my opinion. Oh, and the Darth Maul bank? Age recommendation is only 8+!  ＼（＾▽＾）／
